> Superior RV Liquid Rubber (no primer - 15 year)
I asked each to tell me why their product is superior or how they are different from the other two. (I heard back from Superior already, but all they really gave me was what was already on their website.)
what does the warranty cover? materials/labor/etc.???????

UPDATED LIST - So here are the products I've heard about so far here and on other threads, and basic comments:
APPLIED BY PROS
Rhino Liner - Pricey, not great adhesion over non-metal & flexible surfaces (as reported by one person on another thread & others)
FlexArmor - Pricey, lasts 10-15 years & lifetime leak guarantee
Latex Elastomeric types DIY
Hengs - one source says OK over TPO, another says no. May need a recoat 3-4 years in desert
Elastomeric (Henry 287, 687, et. al.) - recoat every 4-5 years. Actually not recommended for RV roofs (but some have used it for that)!
Solvent Based DIY
Inland Coatings RC-2000 Found this on the web - ANYONE USED? (one person on another thread also recommended this) Says good for TPO and all RV roofs and without primer. 15 year guarantee (for techies - SEBS based)
Silicone (e.g., Henry's 887 Tropi-Cool) - ANYONE USED THIS ON AN RV? Henry says it's 887 can do RV roofs including TPO. Limited lifetime warranty with one coat. I wonder how this is to walk on or to repair (will anything other than silicone stick to it for repairs, like Eternabond Tape). . .?
Superior RV Liquid Rubber - Good for TPO with no primer. Someone in another thread recommended this product. Appears to be similar to the Inland Coatings product, but has different composition. 15 year guarantee (for techies - SBC based)
LiquidRoof - must use primer over TPO (product also requires catalyst). They give a 10 year warranty (but someone said about 5 year longevity before a recoat is probably needed). (Moderator Extraordinaire Barney gives a real nice report of applying this product in the 2nd thread below also linked here!) (for techies - EPDM based)

I called Hengs directly when i was looking to recoat my Alpha brand TPO roof. ( yes some liquid roof manufacturers are very specific on the BRAND of TPO roof you have) i was informed by their tech dept that it was NOT to be put on a TPO roof. I called Dicor about their 2 part coating and was advised that a primer must be applied first and that if you had any ponding water on the roof it would NOT stand up to that and it was only a acrylic coating and not a liquid rubber .
I called many manufacturers before I finally found a product called Superior RV Roof, it is formulated for TPO rubber AND EPDM rubber roofs. It is a one part system that you put on with a roller. Now again, this is where it pays to do your homework. I checked the product out and it said not to be used on Alpha brand epdm roofs.. BUT i have a Alpha brand TPO roof ( it has a textured feel to it isnt of the reg TPO roofs which are mostly smooth, and i called my coach manufacturer also and checked with them to confirm) I confirmed with the manufacturer of the Superior RV Roof product that if it was a TPO roof it could be applied and it will stand up to ponding water unlike the dicor "Coating" i cleaned my roof with water with plain blue dawn dish soap ( no perfumes etc...) and let it dry, brushed the liquid rubber along the edges of the roof, around vents etc, and then just rolled it out.. I put 2 coats on the roof within a 72 hour period ( with this product you can go as long as a week or more) and so far it is very nice. I can feel a difference in the coach as far as heat build up ( due to reflectivity of the product). And i can tell that it also keeps the roof looking cleaner also.. I noticed that where i brushed it on the flat parts of my roof ( i wanted extra coverage on a few spots) the roof material did "pucker" a bit and then once dry laid flat again. I dont know if that is just due to poor adhesion from the factory, or the product itself. But for now all is well.

FlexArmor - Sprayed on by pros, costly, lasts 10-15 years & lifetime leak guarantee
how does this differ from rhino/linex?
